I am a diabetic with one stent and a triple by-pass (1 1/2 Yrs ago) and now I am experiencing high blood sugar (over 500) ffor which I have taken plenty of insulin to take care of it. (insulin pump) Now I am experiencing nausea and indigestion with my unreasonably high blood sugars. My tongue is feeling numb. Is it just the blood sugars or am I experiencing a heart attack. I do not have insurance and I hesitate to call 911 unless I know that it is necessary. I would not have the money to pay such a bill. Thank you, XXXXX XXXXXXXX@XXXXXX.XXX P.S. My hands are trembling in an unusal way.
